Partridge Sky·Colorful Sleeves Holding the Jade Bell Attentively
Yan Jidao
Series: Three Hundred Song Poems
Partridge Sky·Colorful The sleeves held the jade clock diligently
The colorful sleeves held the jade clock diligently, but in those days, the beauty was drunk. Dancing low to the moon in the heart of the willow tower, singing to the wind under the peach blossom fan. After we said goodbye, we met again and again, and shared our dreams with you several times. I only have a few silver photos left tonight, as if I was afraid that the meeting would be a dream.

Translation
I recall those days when you were toasting wine with a jade cup in your hand, and you were gorgeously dressed and affectionate; I raised my glass and drank to get drunk, and my face was red from drunkenness. Dance to your heart's content until the moon reaches the top of the building, and go down next to the treetops; Sing to your heart's content, until the peach blossom fan is exhausted and unable to stop fanning.
Since we parted, I always want to meet again. How many times have you and I met again in dreams. We are really happy to meet each other tonight. I have been sitting there for a long time talking about farewell, but I am afraid that it is just an illusory dream again.
Appreciation
Words are the voice of the heart, and only those who have true feelings can write true feelings. The song "Partridge Sky" is about sadness and joy. It is so sincere and profound, touching the heart, and has a strong emotional appeal. Although the subject matter of this poem is relatively narrow, it is nothing more than a work of grief, separation, nostalgia, and feelings of regret. It does not exceed the scope of the subject matter of the poets of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. The moving part of Xiao Yan's love-writing works lies in its euphemism and delicacy, deep affection and charming, fresh and elegant. Bai Juyi said: "Things that touch people's hearts must first start with love." Throughout the ages, most of the popular poems are not only sentimental, but also true. The so-called "true words are the bones of words. True feelings and true scenes must be well-written and easy to be finished."
The colorful sleeves held the jade clock diligently, but in those days they were drunk and beautiful. The new moon dances low in the willow tower, and the peach blossoms sing to the low wind.
One is diligently urging people to drink, and the other is drinking desperately, making people haggard for Yi. The love we felt when we first met one night is unforgettable, the dream after parting is hard to find, the sudden reunion tonight is unbelievable, the scene has changed several times, the personnel have changed dramatically, everything is "like an illusion, like lightning, like yesterday's dream". The surprise and surprise when they reunited were natural and without any pretense.
As passionate as Xiao Yan, how many things can there be in the world? Xiaoyan's poetry is good at expressing emotions and can be true. Therefore, although Chen Tingzhuo thought that he was inevitably involved in evil thoughts and failed to achieve the purpose of being a popular poet, he could not but say that his words were graceful and unique. He also said that "everything that is shallow is deep", "love words are all the best", "it is full of twists and turns, and has its own erotic words, let alone Yi." Xiao Yan is good at writing about romantic feelings, joyful situations, and extremely melancholy. It is so heart-stirring and can express an innocent character, making people not feel vulgar and erotic, but they will never tire of it even if they read it a hundred times. In this regard, Xiaoyan was greatly influenced by the five-generation words, especially the post-subject words. Feng Xu's "Examples of Selected Poems from Sixty Masters of Song Dynasty" said: "Huaihai and Xiaoshan are also the sad people in ancient times." Xiaoyan, Li Houzhu, and Qin Shaoyou are collectively called "the three beautiful young men in the poem", which shows that the styles of the three are indeed relatively close. Chen Tingzhuo's "Baiyu Zhai Ci Hua" says: "Neither Li Houzhu nor Yan Shuyuan have the correct voice in their Ci, but their Ci is loved by everyone because of its emotion. Ci written without deep emotion, although elegant and rhymeless, is not touching." ?” Mr. Wang Guowei also said: “The lyrics of everyone’s work will surely refresh the heart and mind...” Xiao Yan’s work is already close.
After seeing each other again, we meet again and share our dreams with you. I only have a few silver photos left tonight, as if I was afraid that the meeting would be a dream.
Recalling the joy and heartiness of the meeting is precisely to reflect the deep love, the most lovesickness, the lingering dreams, and the longing for it. But the meeting in the dream was ultimately in vain, but the longing for lovesickness after waking up became deeper and more penetrating. So much so that when we actually meet, we can’t tell whether it’s a dream or reality, and we’re afraid of waking up again with even more painful lovesickness in our heart and lungs.
Xiao Yan came from a scholarly family, and many of his elegant words were adapted from the poems of his predecessors. Although the words of predecessors are still there, I have used them for my own use, and they are harmonious and coherent. It is still natural and brilliant to read, and it has its own unique taste and interest.
The artistic conception of the dream in Xiaoyan's writing adopts a progressive method. The lovesickness in the previous sentence has reached the limit, while the latter sentence progresses a step further, creating a cyclical artistic effect and a richer image. It can be said that the youth is better than the blue.
Yan Jidao was famous for his elegant style of "all the soft words have taste, and all the simple words are meaningful" and the "delicacy wins rhyme and is natural". Volume 1 of Chen Tingzhuo's "Bai Yuzhai Ci Hua" says: "Yan Xiaoshan in the Northern Song Dynasty was good at romance. He was the right hand of Yuan Xian (Yan Shu) and Wen Zhong (Ouyang Xiu). However, he could not help but think about evil things and lose the purpose of a man of style. His words are elegant and elegant. , then he was alone for a while." Chen Zhensun praised: "Among all the Ming Dynasties, his (Shu Yuan's) poems can only be followed by flowers, and he can surpass them at high places. He is upright and cannot be demoted." Mao Jin said in "Postscript" Xiao Yan's poems are said in "Xiaoshan Ci" that "every word of Xiaoyan's poems is like Pingping, just like holding the sleeves of Qiang and Shi Zhizhi, wishing that lotus, Hong, Ping, and clouds could rise, pressing the red tooth plate, and singing in harmony." It can be described as overwhelming. And his beautiful line, "After seeing each other again, I remember meeting you again, and I have the same dreams as you. I have a few silver coins left tonight, as if I am afraid that we will meet again in a dream." has been sung by the world for thousands of years and is still sung to this day. The endless sound of the birds.
